internet and socmed allowed us to observe and compare reaction of west and easten humans worldviews.. and the distinct cultural different really SUPER OBVIOUS:

west ; individualistic
east: community-centric


This is VERY APPARENT in reddit posts like AITA or marriage matters . Even in normal disagreement (part and parcel of a marriage) , most of the "suggestions" by western netizens swayed towards "please run, he's an a*hole and dont deserve you".

As for us in the east...we just treat it like another day, and making minor sacrifices for others at the expense of personal freedom is pretty much ingrained in us.



There's one thing as a youtuber , I noticed on how western and eastern folks write out their thoughts when they commented on my vids.

I get comments like " you SHOULD do this/that . It seemed like rude but eventually I've grown to understand thats their way of asking someone normally for favors.

for us in the east..... comments like "Please do this/that" is expected.
